Charles Lindbergh was all of the above and more. Here is a rich, multi-faceted, utterly spellbinding biography about an American hero who was also a deeply flawed man. In this time where values Lindbergh held, like white Nationalism and America First, are once again on the rise, <i>The Rise and Fall of Charles Lindbergh</i> is essential reading for teens and history fanatics alike.
